Sleeping with the NME

New sitcom about stuggling band

Adam Buxton is to star in a new Channel Four sitcom about a struggling Brighton band.

The Adam and Joe star also co-wrote the show, titled The Last Chancers.

A pilot episode was screened under the Comedy Lab banner in 2002, directed by The Office co-writer Stephen Merchant.

Buxton played Johnny, the down-to-earth frontman of The Chocolate Factory who his disorganized band mates are continually trying to ditch.
